Tailored to Temple Ewell Homes
Dover's coastal properties experience salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion — we use marine-grade fixings and treated timber for any exposed work
Access & logistics: Dover's steep topography means some properties have challenging access. We assess this during the initial survey and plan accordingly for material handling and scaffolding.
Seasonal tip: Coastal exposure in Dover means external carpentry needs to withstand salt spray and high winds. We use stainless steel fixings and recommend composite or treated hardwood over softwood for any external work.
Common Considerations for Dover Properties
- Salt air corrosion requiring marine-grade hardware and treated timber
- Chalk and flint walls requiring specialist drilling and fixings
- Exposed coastal locations requiring wind-resistant construction for garden rooms and decking
Local knowledge isn't just about knowing the postcode — it's about knowing the parking restrictions near the A2 / A20 junction, the merchant suppliers worth using, and the small details that catch out trades from outside Dover. We bring all of that to every job.

Step-by-Step: Our Decking Service
From the first measure in Temple Ewell to handover, your garden decking project moves through these stages:
- 1
Garden Survey
We visit your garden, assess the ground conditions, and discuss your requirements — size, shape, levels, and material preference. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Temple Ewell.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Temple Ewell job.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Temple Ewell.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
Access and parking in Temple Ewell are agreed before we start, so nothing stalls mid-job.

Will garden decking suit an older property in Temple Ewell?
